The Westminster and Deptford Railway is intended to com mence from the foot of Westminster -bridge, on tke Surrey- aide.; whence after a very slight •-eurve, to avoid inteifering with the Arch bishop of Canterbury's grounds, it will proceed in a straight line to the northern border of Kennington Common, and thence, via Camberwell and Peckham, intersecting and joining in its course the London and Croydon Railway, to join the London and Greenwich Railway at the Deptford depot. The Westminster and Deptford Railway will thus form the nearest and most direct communication between the Western and South-Western districts of the Metropolis, and the populous and wealthy districts of Greenwich, Woolwich, Blackheath, Deptford, Kennington, Camberwell, Peckham, Dulwich, Croydon, and their vicinities. It will afford to the inhabitants of Clapham, Brixton, &c., increased facilities of conveyance, by a junction near the end of the Vassal-road, or at Kennington. It will become the great Western entrancc to London of all the Railways about to be con structed South and South-east of the Metropolis ; and, by means of a short Railway about to be made from the London and Greenwich Railway to Deptford Pier, it will form by far the nearest and most direct communication between the Thames at Deptford and the Thames at Westminster-bridge, thereby avoiding a long and dangerous intermediate navigation.

THE two great distingui s hi ng features of this BRANDY are, its confirmed wholesome properties (be ing the only essentially pure spirit known); and the striking simi larity in its flavour to that of the finest French Brandy. The PATENT BRANDY is the only Spirit recommended by the Faculty, and the only one that has stood the test of searching Chemical Analysis. The report.:: made upon those which may have been submitted to that process by others having been inva riably such as they have not dared to offer to public notice. EXTRACTS FROM TESTIMONIALS.

AVELEY, ESEX., APRIL 20.—Between the hours of 3 and 4 this afternoon the town was thrown into considerable consternation by a report, which on investigation proved but too well founded, that a woma n n ame d Clark had been most brutally murdered by her husband. The cool-blooded deter mination with which it was accomplished, has, it is hoped, not its parallel. It appears that she had been married about eight mouths, but that for some time past she and her hus band had not lived comfortably together, lie was a journey man carpenter, but bad for some time past been out of em ployment, dealonsy on his part is assigned as the cause of this frightful murder. From information obtained from a per son residing in the same house, it seems that they had been quarrelling the whole of the morning, and about 2 o'clock in the afternoon she complained of indisposition, and retired to bed, and her husband left the house without showing any hos tile feeling towards his unfortunate victim. In about an hour afterwards, howev er , he returned, and found his wife still in bed; he continued walking up and down incessantly for about half an hour, when, as though lie had been waiting an oppor tunity, he suddenly threw his arm round her neck, and with a razor he almost severed her head from her body. She, how \ever, in her struggle for life sprang out of bed in the direction of the window, and an alarm being given, many of the neigh bours were soon in attendance, but to witness the shocking spectacle of a corpse almost decapitated. The murderer never attempted to escape ; on the contrary, he very coolly requested some one to fetch a police-officer, for he said that it was he that had done it, would cheerfully suffer for it, and would die contented. The poor unfortunate woman was four or five months advanced in pregnancy. That the thing was done deliberately may be inferred from the fact of his having bought a razor some two days before. At one time ? about thirty-thousand head of black cattle were sent from our bounds to Norwich-hill, and sold to the farmers - the purprr.,e' such lots as they could conveniently take for of being fattened for the London markets. But the trade, which still continues to a considerable extent, ;. - a gradually diminishing; and in the opinion of many, the pe riod is not remote when three-fourths of the beeves in Dum fries-shire and Galloway will be fattened as well as reared at home. With turnip husbandry extending so fast, and steamers bridging seas in every by direction, it will be of little conse quence,and bye, where a man farms—in the midland counties, or at John-o'-Groats—so that he is within convenient reach of a haven fitted for shipping grain and stock, and un shipping lime and bone manure,--Dun fries Courier. The debate on M r . H ar d y ' s mo ti on c l o sed at a late hour this . morning. Th e resu lt i s w h a t mus t h ave g e nerally been anticipated —a great majority against Mr. Hardy's motion, On the first division L or d J o h n R usse ll' s reso l u tions were carried in preference of Mr. Hardy's, by 243 to 169, giving a majority of 74. Another di v i s i on t h en too k p l ace on a resoluttou moved by Lord Stanley, directed against the procei3dings of the Carlow Committee. Lord John Rus sell 'met this by moving that the House should proceed to the Orders of . the Day. .Here again th e num b ers were 238 to 166,_ giving a majority against Lord Stanley's mo tion of 72. The qttestro ceased to have any interest when it became evident that Mr. VConnell was free from a ll blame in the transaction. Immense pains were . taken t o produce an impression on the country that Mf. O'Connell had duped Raphael. Never was more eagerness shown to run down any man than was manifested by the hounds of the party against Mr. O'Connell. The result is his complete acquittal, even by all the respectable Tories ; for Sir Robert Peel, as well as Lord Stanley and Sir James Graham, declared that nothing could be laid to the charge of Mr. O'Connell. It would have been more to the credit of Mr. Hardy, if he had at once acquiesced in the views of the Special Committee, instead of bringing the trum pery affair again before the House, and consuming two days at this important period of the session in useless dis cussion. Mr. Hardy's reply was a wretched exhibition. He is an old hand, it seems, at corrupting electors, and it is probable that be will one day have his memory refreshed on this subject.—Morning Chropicic. . The history of Russia, evetsinee the famous "settlement of Europe," is a history of encroachments and aggressions —of insidious policy and successful ambition. On the ruins of the power of Napoleon a fabric of less grand and more gloomy supremacy has been raised. The despotism of the Emperor of the French was brilliant and intellectual—that of the Czar of Muscovy is sullen and barbarous. What, then, has Europe gained by the exchange of the one for the other? Certainly not an increase of freedom, intelligence, or civilisation. On the rock of St. Helena Bonaparte pre dicted that, in twenty years, Europe would become either Republican or Cossack. The twenty years have not yet expired, and Europe has not become republican ; but the power and influence of the Cossack Chief has greatly ex 'tended, and a State, scarcely known in Europe three cen turies ago, now exercises a terrific dominion, from Athens to Cracow—from St. Petersburgh to Constantinople. Vigi lant and indefatigable, Russian ambition never sleeps or rests—it is in a state of perpetual watchfulness and un tiring action. In close and intimate alliance with the two other great absolute Powers of the Continent, Russia takes advantage of every circumstance that can promote its designs, and organizes the means of still more extended plans of operation. In the mean time, the men in whose hands are placed the political destinies of England, not only take rio steps to protect British interests against the encroachments of the insatiable ambition of Russia, but actually encourage, by their supineness and apathy, if not by something worse, the modern irruption upon civilised nations of the barbarians of the north. We have said that Russia is in close and intimate alliance with the two other great absolute Powers. That Prussia plays into her hands is too self-evident and notorious to require any proof. It has been said of late, by some political writers, that Austria was jealous of the Northern Autocrat, and only awaited a plausible opportunity of breaking with him as a measure of self-defence. To all such reasoners the fate of Cracow gives a decisive answer. There we find Austria most cordially co-operating with the greatest enemy of the repose and civilization of Europe—trampling down, in infamous coalition with the Barbarian, the last relic of Polish independence, and joining in the crusade of atrocious persecution against the exiled children of the land of Sobieski, whose valour once delivered the capital of Austria itself from the desolating sword of its Ottoman enemies. In this state of things, it is lamentable to reflect that there is no man of sufficient patriotism, energy, and influence in Parliament, to awaken Ministers to a sense of their duty, and to excite that feeling in the country which is necessary to act upon and stimulate our rulers to some thing like a manly vindication of the national interests and - . onour, against the insolent encroachments of a Power which, emboldened by impunity, scarcely attempts to con ceal its designs to break down, wherever it can, our political influence, our maritime power, and our commercial prospe rity. Mr. P. M. Stewart's motion, on Wednesday night, was praiseworthy ; the object was laudable ; and in bringing it forward the Hon. Member gave information to the House re lative to the projects and policy of Russia which, though not very new, was valuable, and ought not to be allowed to pass into oblivion. But laudable as Mr. Stewart's motion was, it was very limited. The question of sending a Consular Agent to Cracow was a very small question to discuss in the present state of Europe. Nevertheless, we think the Hon. mover merits the public thanks for having brought before Parliament at all the case of that little Republic, which the three great Powers, by a confe deracy similar to that which led to the first partition of Poland in 1772, have trampled in the dust, contrary to the Faith of a solemn treaty—the treaty of Vienna—to which the name of England was signed, and by which her honour was bound. Greater merit is due to Mr. Stewart when we recollect that all interference with the aggressive policy of Russia was equally deprecated by Mr. Roebuck, a cham pion of the Radical, and by Sir Robert Peel, a leader of the Conservative cause. Let Lord Palmerston congratulate himself upon the curiously combined support which his im becile policy has received. Whatever comes of it, we can say that we have done our duty to the country ; and that if we have to make war on Russia hereafter, at a disad vantage, it will not have been because we failed to fore warn the British public of the approaching danger.— Morning Heraith Lord John Russell ,:gust rely greatly (and we trust erro neously) upon the factious feeling of his supporters through out the country when he ventures to describe the case of Mr. O'Connell's interference in t::c Carlow election as "a trumpery case." We venture to afErb:. l that no man who speaks from an unbiassed judgment of the enTumstances of that case will so describe it. There may b e some t ittestion of the propriety of a revival of the subject in the manner in which it has been revived by Mr. Hardy ; but it ought to have the effect of giving to the public a right understanding of the two divisions of the case—one of them being settled, the other under discussion ; but both of them the very re verse of trumpery or unimportant cases. When the cor respondence between Mr. Raphael and Mr. O'Connell first appeared, a very grave suspicion was excited that Mr. O'Connell had been dealing in Parliamentary seats for his own pecuniary benefit. This suspicion did not rest on any light or foolish grounds. Mr. O'Connell's letter of June 1, 1835, in which he recites that Mr. Raphael has agreed to pay 1,0001. in advance for being nominated, and guarantees that his return shall not cost him more than 2,0004, was as like a corrupt job as anything could possibly be, aad could only be deemed to be otherwise from the difficeit.; of believing that a man like Mr. O'Connell could really be ;pay of such an offence. Lord John Russell himself allows the sus picion to have been founded on " very blameable ex pressions, and on conduct not conformable with the proper course of Parliamentary proceedings." This being true, it is scarcely consistent to describe a case with such a foundation as " trumpery." But there was another case besides that against Mr. O'Connell for pecuniary traffic in Parliamentary seats. We mean the interference witb free dom of election—the attempt to put a Member into the House of Commons by the exercise of undue influence, and the assurance to an individual of a Parliamentary scat on other grounds than the ascertained previous determination of the electors in his favour. As to the first ease—namely, the pecuniary corruption of which Mr. O'Connell was sus pected, he was put upon his tridl before a Committee of the 110111 C of Commons, and that tribunal acquitted him of that charge. The Committee pronounced him not guilty - of having obtained pecuniary profit, or having in tended to obtain it by his concern with the Carlow elec tion. That case, then, is decided. It. would be unfair to re-open it. The suspicion was entertained—it has been in vestigated—it has been decided to be groundless except in appearance, and thus it is at an end. It is a mistake to suppose that they who differ from Lord John Russell differ also from this view of the matter. The second case is yet to be decided. It remains still to be examined whether the circumstances of the Carlow election have not abundant matter of offence in them altogether independent of Mr. O'Connell's full and fair disbursement of the money which he obtained from Mr. Raphael. It is amazing that any honest man should read the detail of the circumstances, as it has been given in evidence, and yet rest satisfied (like Lord John Russell) that the circumstances were all right, and that nothing more remains to be done. We say it is impossible to read the history of these, circumstances, with out perceiving that the representation of Carlow was sold. It was offered for the sake of the money that could bCr ob tained for it. It is true the money was not to go into Mr. O'Connell's pocket, nor into the pocket of any other indi vidual, but it was to uphold the interests of a particular party ; and it is as clear as any fact can be made to be by evidence, that the motivtt to the election of Mr. Raphael WiLS the r ; ;I r y nAlfzrnislied. It is perfectly monstrous thae !men iv 0 have 0 • ned popularity, and thence have obtained power, as Oe advocates of purity of election, should have the desire t o screen such proceedings, and the audacity to proclaim that desire, It appears in evidence that the Roman-Catholi c Bislnzn of the diocese and his clergy as sembled in conclave to deliberate upon the disposal of the representati on of the comity. Mr. O'Connell, as is usual with hitti f appears to have octed as their agent. It was desirable, in their view, that •tl'e Conservative candidates should be opposed,• and that candidates in their interest should be returned ; but electioneering business could not be carried on without money, and for that money they agreed to sell the representation of the county. They had, as they believed, the necessary influence ; but the funds were required as well as the influence ; so they agrecd to barter enough of influence for one in order to obtain fends for two, and Mr. O'Connell became their agent in this business. He, therefore, bargained with Mr. Raphael-- a person of whom, at the time the bargain was made not one in a hundred of the electors had ever heard—a person wbo never had been in the county of Carlow in his life— a person who could not even go there to be elected. But. the influence of the priests was sufficient, in spite of all these circumstances ; he was elected in consideration of his money. This is the case which Lord John Rus sell calls " trumpery ;" and yet such reputation As he has is wholly owing to his supposed zeal for the full and fair representation of the people in Parliament. Mr. O'Connell's share in this business was not that of a marl making money for himself, but getting money for his party. in Carlow; in exchange for a scat in Parliament. Un doubtedly the• day has been when this would have been considered a breafth of Parliamentary privilege, and highly worthy of punishment the House of Commons. How the -Members of a " Ref o ,..rn Administration and a Re formed Parliament" can bring themtelves to think diffe rently of it we cannot explain, el:cept upon grounds little creditable to their political honesty rh:'d public consistency. To tell us that cases as bad as this, or worse, did con stantly happen under the old system, and ~.scaped not only without punishment, but without notice, is coaiing to the purpose. It is no justification of present wrong- to plead that former wrong was not dealt with as it ought to have been. Least of all .can it be admitted that they who al tered a system, because it admitted of unjust arid im proper_ influence arid of traffic in Parliamentary seats, shall now, under the new system, excuse themselves by reference to the practices of the old, for the abolition o 1 which they have taken so much credit to themselves.— Morning Herald. Lord Francis Egerton, on Thursday nit ht, referred to the Nottingham dinner, and to that expression which we denounced at the time, delivered by Sir Ronald Ferguson,. in which that Gallant Officer thought it fit to tem] the ne cessary inquiry into the conduct of Mr. O'Connell " a foul conspiracy on the part of a dying faction." We or;einally stated, and we now repeat, that the most " foul conspiracy" ever engaged in is the Whig and Radical coalition, in which degenerate English Noblemen have associated themselves with Irish demagogues ; and that if ever there was a " fac. tion" manifestly " dying," it is the Whig-Radical faction, the members of which have thus unblushingly coalesced. Sir H. Ferguson's after-dinner effusion was paltrily explained away by his House of Commons eloquence. He said that be did not " know whether he had been correctly re ported, for he never looked to satisfy himself in that re spect ; that it was true that he had stated that there was a faction in this country almost extinguished," As we have just stated, we cordially concur in the assertion of the Gallant General, though from considerations diametrie„ally opposite. But when he, with something of Lord Palmerston's pecu liar manner, says that he never looked to satisfy himself whether he had been correctly reported or not, we take leave to tell him that no man who is sincerely solicitous as to the truth and justice of his asserted sentiments, can be indifferent to the greater or less fidelity with which they are conveyed to his countrymen. Fully impressed, as we are, with the importance, social and political, of Lord Francis Egerton's position, as the member of a powerful house, and the representative of a powerful constituency, it is out of the question that we should feel anything but respect for hir expressed devotion to that Conservative party, of which the Noble Lord has declared that, whether it be about to live or die, he is, and always shall be, a. sincere member. But we could wish to suggest to the Noble Lord whether the extension of more than the customary courtesy of P3diament to a person utterly undeserving of it be advisaNe. 'Were we to admit—as we never can admit—that the Carlow jobber has saved himself by anything beyond the merest technicality, we should still feel that the mode in which Lord Francis Eger ton dealt with the subject was calculated to palliate, if not to encourage, the gross Parliamentary erime . 74:hich has been committed. The — Noble Member for one division of Lan- cashire cannot be better admonished than by the stern and truly English tone of the Noble Lord representing the ether division of the same county. But that it would be difficult to dismiss the name of O'Connell on such a subject, the Member for Dublin, whatever his motives or conduct in the Carlow job, need not detain the House a moment. As we yesterday said, a scat in the British Senate was held np to sale for 2,0001. by the Carlow Clob. The expenses of the clection were under 1,000/. A dupe w•as necessary, and he was found ; a decoy was convenient, and he was at hand ; yet these are but incidents to the undeniable transac- tion that a county was bought and sold ; and to these facts we invite the attention of Cord Francis Egerton.—Times. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. A DESPONDING LOVER.—Yesterday. Thomas Paula, a country-looking joskin, wearing a smock frock, and who said he was a porter in Covent-garden Market, was brought Wore the Magistrates, charged with annoying Anna Evans, a young woman of interesting appearance. Complainant had been living with the prisoner as his wife, but left him that day week in consequence of his violent tem per, he having frequently threatened to kill her, and ill-used her that morning as she was going out with a female friend, at whose house, in Great James-street, Lisson-grove, she had. been stopping for a day or two. Prisoner (crying)—Oh, Anna, dear, do forgive me, and I'll never molest you again. Will you, Anna ?- 7 -(Laughter.) Mr. SHUTT (to prisoner)—Why do you annoy her? she don't want to have any thing more to say to you. Prisoner_ Don't you, Anna, duck ? Well, Sir, I only want to ask her for the ticket of my wife's shawl. Mr. SHUTT—What ! do you mean to say you arc a married man ? Prisoner ( wiping his eyes)—No, Sir, but I was, and my wife died in August ; then I was a lost man, so was Anna, and we agreed to try and be a comfort to one another. Anna, Anna! I never thought it would come to this.—(Laughter.) Mr. SHUTT—WiII you promise not to go near her again ? Prisoner—l won't molest her again; but she has got a pair of bellows of mine and a tinder-box. How am Ito get them back ? Mr SHUTT—By sending a friend for them. The prisoner, on again promising not to mole2t the cam p T a i l Int 7 b was discharged , and left the office in a ciDspoltding mood. FIRE IN 13PND-STREET AND BURLINGTON A lie A DE. —At eleven o'CI elootln, of Oldyesterda y Bond-street, the investigatio n was ionintothe charge against Mr. re sumed before Mr. Conant. The office was crowded. Mr. Barber Beaumont, on the part of the County Fire Office, ap peared to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Rogers for the defence. After hearing evidence, Me. Conant said that Mr. Absclon should gn at large on bail, and that next Tuesday the investigation should be concluded. The small pox has made g reat ravages in Ghent within the last few weeks, the first section of the "town, it is said, having principally suffered. There are families who have six, seven, and eight of its members ,afflicted with this soul complaint, which for the most part attacks persons of ma turer time of life.—Brussels Paper. Two jackdaws have recently built their nest in the centre of a chimney at Little Blunsden- grove farm-house, Wil ts , 10 which fires are constantly kept. Nothing can exceed the nove lty of the appearance of the birds ascending and de scending through a volume of smoke.

AN ECCENTRIC CIIARACTER.—A per Son, named Jahn Rennie, by trade a tinsmith, has resided in Queensferry for eighteen years. Ha withdrew himself from all htunan so ciety, and pursued his humble occupation in solitude , amid smoke and a greater degree of discomfort than the po orest of mortals usually experience. His dwelling was usually a de serted house, or if by chance a more comfortable abode pre sented itself, he had the art of changing it into a den of misery and wretchedness. Elc was considered a miser, and the pos sessor of great wealth. His habits were orderly ;he was cor rect in his dealings, and avoided all intercourse with the disso lute and intemperate. He was never seen in church, or known to take any interest in the concerns of religion. When a cler gyman spoke to him on spiritual matters, he listened with at tention and answered with the greatest respect, but no argu ment could induce him to clninge his course of conduct. About a month ago it nes discovered that his wealth was squalid pu. vertv. ills constitution was impaired by continued privations. Ile suffered long without uttering a complaint, till at last stern necessity compelled him to unfold his tale of misery. His ap_ pea I was not heard in vain. But exhausted nature could not be recruited under all the remedies most assiduously adminis tered. The pour man breathed his last on Tue sday , the sth, am id na me tender care than th e stranger usually can expect .
